Notes
substitutions & variations
amber, dark, or raw agave - if you know you like the flavor of deeper-tasting agave nectar, you can definitely substitute it in your syrup recipe! If you’re not sure if you like the taste, I recommend tasting it first on its own.troubleshooting tips
not sweet enough - you can add more agave if you prefer a sweeter syrup, but this will also impact any drinks you make with the syrup.Nutrition
